MARIE ALLWEIN Drops From Porch At Summer Home In Mt. Gretna ON SATURDAY Victim Lands On Rock, Crushing Her Skull Many citizens throughout the community were immeasurably shocked on Saturday when they learned that MRs. Marie E. (Ross) Allwein; of 403 Chestnut street was almost instantly killed in a fall from a high porch at her summer home in the Chautauqua Borough Reservation, at Mt. Gretna. The cottage is located on a heavy slope, facing Brown Avenue, the near part being set on high piers. Mrs. Allwein had spent a part of the morning visiting across the street with Mrs. Maria T. Klopp, wife of City Councilman L.. M. Klopp, treasurer and general manager of the Lebanon Hardware Company. Mrs. Allwein returned to her own cottage about 11 o'clock, and shortly thereafter neighbors heard a thud and clatter of falling wood. Ladies at the D. O. Bomberger cottage on the same side of the street voiced an alarm to Mrs. Kloop who then ran to the Allwein home and found Mrs. Allwein lying on the ground at the foot of the porch. When the neighbor saw the crushed head of the victim she fainted. She recovered consciousness quickly, however, and noting that Mrs. Allwein was still breathing called to the Bomberger home again, with instruction to summon an ambulance. The Good Samaritan Hospital ambulance responded, but in the interim Dr. P. H. Gerheardt, and Dr. Mary Scott, an x-ray specialist of the Lancaster Hospital, both residing at Gretna arrived on the scene, and pronounced the woman dead. When the ambulance arrived, the interne in charge corroborated the verdict of the other two, and Dr. W. H. Brubaker, the county coroner was summoned. His investigation indicated that Mrs. Allwein had apparently started to shake a rug over the porch railing when it suddenly gave way under her weight and collapsed. She had toppled head first over the edge with the natural wood material of which the railing was constructed, and landed on a heavy rock. The skull was reported by the coroner as badly fractured. The victim of the tragedy was the widow of Arthur Allwein who died suddenly on April 29, 1940, while employed in the capacity of yardmaster of the Reading Company railroad yards in this city.
